Nope. Hughes has game breaking ability. He will improve his defence with experience. If Kotkaniemi reaches Pettersson's level then you can say he can surpass Hughes.Hello:
Habs fan; I come in peace. I enjoy the draft and remember the debate about our 3rd overall pick in 2018. I remember Trevor Timmins, who is responsible for our draft, saying a player of Hughes’ size will always have problems defending, which I found odd for a head scout to say publicly as it might give the player more motivation, but I guess he was preparing the fanbase for not drafting Hughes. Do you think Kotkaniemi could one day be more valuable than Hughes? He has improved his skating but he is still quite weak, and they shelter him a lot. If he bulks up to 220 lbs, could be one day surpass Hughes?
Habs are beating the Canucks because they have a balanced and deep team. Also they have a very good coach.
